This month started out with a bang when Noah fell and hit his head on our couch leg, making for a quick and bloody trip to the ER. Three hours and six stitches later we were back home with him happily licking an ER Popsicle! One week later Mike and I snuck into his room at night and took his stitches out ourselves. He turned over a few times but didn't even wake up for the procedure :) We figured it would be easier to do it ourselves while he was asleep than to head back to the ER where he would inevitable freak out and fight. His
owie healed up nicely, but he'll have a good scar to show for it.
Showing off the stitches!
Here's a recent photo of our sweet puppy, Joy. She is very affectionate and loving with our entire family. She's always up for adventures with the kids, and she's good at including herself in whatever we're doing.
Weston and Grace are currently playing YMCA indoor soccer on the same team. The team is 1st and 2
nd graders, but they allowed Grace to move up one level for our convenience. So far, it's been a wonderful experience and the kids LOVE it. Weston even go to be a star on Saturday and scored 5 goals in one game!
We decided to make some Spring/Easter cookies today. I saw the recipe in a magazine made with pretzels and yogurt coating, but I decided to make the little nests out of Chow
Mein noodles with melted butterscotch chips and peanut butter for a coating. They turned out pretty cute! I'm not sure Noah actually assembled a complete cookie. I do know he ate at least 2 Peeps, 5 eggs and 1 nest!
